Nickbruh510 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Hey guys and gals, just wondering what i should use to paint/seal/waterproof the inside of my stand and canopy. I heard THE REGULAR OLE KILZ, then some caulking works great. any thoughts? Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Oil based paint will probably hold up the best. Quote Link to comment
Nickbruh510 Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 I was thinking appliance white epoxy paint. Nice and sleek and shiny white. 2 coats no sanding. Oil based paint does get my 2 cents Quote Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Is this a new wood stand or refurbishing an existing one that is already covered or painted? If it's new wood, I think you have the right idea, KILLZ, caulk, epoxy paint. 1 Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Why do you caulk the stand? I used water resistant exterior paint on mine and it's worked well. Quote Link to comment
jbb Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 You caulk so moisture doesn't get between joints .

Five.five-six Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 On my latest tank, I actually ran a 2" lip around all the open areas and sealed it with silicone and painted with exterior paint. Idea being that it would catch a few gallons of water from an under the tank leak before it got to the floor. Hopefully a text or alarm from my Apex will alert me in time to keep the floor dry. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I ended up painting with water based kilz because it does not smell as bad as epoxy paint. Then I will be caulking it very soon. Quote Link to comment
